The Dream Creek

…a passage through
the resonating
waves of the corrugated pipes
              grey

              cool
               moist
with the dream cousins
over the plunge splash
to the slow dark pools

past stranded grocery carts
                       panning revelation
                 the giant reed
cultivating calm liquid arches

                 slipping water
terraced minerals                            
clear to the stony bottom

oversized
goldfish of the translucent
                                                      tropical rainforest
                                                         boreal taiga
blue
red

and green coursing
